Here are some highlights from our week's project work. Through these tasks, we incorporate Social Emotional Learning, Art, and Literacy. The majority of our work around kindness came about from this sweet book called The Kindness Quilt by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace. In this story, the main character engages in a "Kindness Project" with her classmates. Through this project, they are encouraged to commit a kind act and then document the action in a drawing. She takes it a step further by creating a small "Kindness Quilt." The beautiful illustrations and story inspired our students greatly! We brainstormed how we can be kind to others in the classroom and created our own "Classroom Kindness Quilt!" We have finally added all of our words to our "ABC's of Us Word Wall." Our word wall is "living," constantly being added to, and interactive. During the day, our Kinders use this wall to celebrate when they see friends demonstrating any of our word wall words. Check out how many friends were caught being flexible and kind! Lastly, to decide how to format our pages in our ABC's of Us alphabet book, we examined the formatting in the ABC books in our library. We noticed colorful illustrations, illustrations matching the words, and each letter being represented on each page in a special way (bigger size, different color, etc.). Check out our slide show below: We will put the finishing touches on our own ABC book over the next week!
With Love, Mrs. Rosemarie
